Residents in west London have called for the removal of a newly installed safety net on a Transport for London (TfL) depot in Northfields, after it trapped and killed wild birds. One man told the BBC that gulls have become trapped and were "dying slow and painful deaths." "One has been dying loudly for four days." A spokesperson for the Swan Sanctuary in Shepperton, which carried out the rescue, said the net was "not a deterrent for birds, it's an expensive death trap".

Kariba and Julie will live in an expansive natural habitat where they can roam freely, bathe and socialise in compatible groups, said Kate Moore, the managing director of Pangea. That autonomy is really critical but they will also have expert care as well. Elephants are one of the most sentient and intelligent animals on earth and so they have very complex needs.

"As an animal breaks down their body to just survive, we find that they become more and more compromised and unstable," Keiley said. "But luckily, we were able to get him right back on track, get his body temperature up, get him feeling more comfortable, and start to introduce food slowly and methodically."

Prosecutors from Florida's attorney general's office are assisting in a criminal investigation into the deaths of sloths that were set to be displayed at Sloth World, a new theme park in Orlando.

"This is a pivotal time to expand support for UC Davis and its extraordinary veterinarians-true everyday heroes. We deeply value the advancement of healthcare for every type of animal. We also believe research in veterinary medicine and human life sciences will be increasingly interconnected and mutually reinforcing."

Dippy, discovered by 10-year-old Evie Hill, is believed to be the first axolotl ever found in the wild in the UK; the species is critically endangered and lives only in Lake Xochimilco near Mexico City.

According to the report, the facility's then owner, Peter Bandre, told inspectors that 21 two-toed sloths from Guyana were victims of a cold stun, after temporary heaters failed. The warehouse had no water or power of its own, Bandre said, and the heaters were run by extension cables from a neighboring building.

Jessica Wallace, who has a degree in equine sciences, bought the four-acre property to have a home for her horse. She says now her mission is to provide a safe haven for at-risk animals, especially those that are older and disabled.

He came here, and he realized that cows here were sleeping on some sort of mattress... he was shocked by that.

Gabrielle Amster has spent nearly two decades advancing innovative approaches in animal welfare, building strong teams, and improving lifesaving outcomes. I am confident she will bring steady leadership and a forward-looking vision that strengthens the department and improves services for both animals and the communities that care for them.

The public comment period is an important opportunity for producers across Canada to review the draft Code and provide feedback on how it applies to their operations. Producer perspectives from across the country help ensure the Code reflects the diversity of Canadian beef production systems and remains practical for producers who raise cattle.

Data-driven approaches in livestock health management can significantly enhance decision-making processes, leading to improved animal welfare and productivity in the agriculture sector.

PETA's vice president of programmes, Elisa Allen, stated that switching to potato-rolling would 'reduce animal suffering, teach children empathy and kindness, help the planet and support British potato farmers.'

The charity claims long-term separation was not a viable solution, as wolves' welfare is closely tied to living within a stable pack structure, and isolation can create further welfare concerns.

The new rules would restrict the shooting of species including the distinctive woodcock, and the striking pintail, goldeneye and pochard ducks, all of which are classed as under threat and have seen their populations fall sharply in recent years.

The bill would ban the sale of dogs and cats in pet shops, a step supporters say would help reduce the number of animals sourced from large-scale commercial breeders often referred to as puppy mills. Instead, pet stores would be able to partner with animal shelters and rescue organizations to facilitate adoptions.

The inspectors reported 23 dogs were inside kennels with frozen water and feces on the ground. The temperature of the indoor kennels was unregulated, but an hour after Kowal turned on the heat, it only rose to 43 degrees Fahrenheit, inspectors said.
